    Forward & leaving copy in inbox

    I'm trying to set up content filtering so that I can forward a message from a particulr email address to my phone while leaving a copy of the message in the Inbox.
    However, the forwarding appear to bypass the Inbox all together.
    I need to be able to respond to the email either by phone or thru email.
    Can this be set up??
    Thanks.

    If it is based on content filtering, this cannot currently be done.
    Is it required that the email be content filtered for it to be forwarded?
    I.E. Must the email have 'bob' in the subject for you to want it at both addresses?

    I want an email sent from a specific email address (a client perhaps) to remain in the Inbox AND be forwarded to the email address used for sending text messages to my phone.
    For instance, if someone sends me a message with an attachment and I'm in a meeting, I can view the message and know what action is to be taken (maybe upload the attachment to a web site), then return to a computer and retrieve the message with the attachment from my inbox.
    The way it's set up now, if I have the message forwarded based on some criteria, it doesn't go to the Inbox at all.

    At this time you cannot forward based on a rule, and save a copy to the inbox. This is an upcoming filtering feature.

    The only option you have to get around this would be to use two mailboxes. The first (and primary) would recieve the mail, then, as needed, forward the message on to the second address. The second address could be setup to save a copy as well as forward on to your phone.
    This is cumbersome but ultimately supplies what you need now.
